​Coffee Was Black continues to be my favorite coffee shop in the Atlanta area. I absolutely love…read moreall the success they are having, and it is really great to see young, creative entrepreneurs succeed who truly care about the community. ​I typically change up my drink each time I come because they have such a huge variety, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Most recently, I got their seasonal juice option with espresso, and it was delicious. I also love that they collaborate with Gaia for their patties. I always get either the salmon or the curry vegetable, and they are packed with flavor and seasoned so well. The salmon patty even comes with a great dipping sauce. ​When I visit, I usually get my coffee for the day, pick up 2 to 3 canned juices to last me for the next few days, and grab 2 patties for later. My favorite canned juice is the Carnival. ​It is also such a cool location. There is seating inside, but it is located within a local art gallery, so you can peruse the rotating exhibits while you wait or after you get your drink. While you are there, make sure to check out the rest of the building. Right next door is a small African business with unique merchandise, and the owner is extremely friendly. There are also books in the back where you can sit down and read. ​Follow Coffee Was Black on social media because they are always doing cool collaborations around the city. Be sure to support them, spread the word, and help this small business continue to succeed!

The drinks were definitely the highlight here. I tried the Plátanos Latte and the Plátanos Matcha,…read moreand both were smooth, comforting, and well made. The Plátanos Matcha was actually my favorite drink that I had during my trip to Atlanta. It was incredibly smooth, well balanced, and something I'd highly recommend. I just wish the plantain flavor came through a little more since it's the signature ingredient. It appears there are two vendors operating in the same space, as I was charged separately for my drinks and my food. I also tried the beef patty, which unfortunately wasn't for me. It had more of a curry flavor than a traditional Jamaican patty, the pastry was soft instead of flaky, and at $8 it was the most expensive patty I've purchased. The pastry also fell apart while I was eating it, and half of it ended up on the floor. I'd personally skip the patty and stick to the drinks.

I could smell the tea being brewed which was a huge plus for me. I don't mind waiting for anything custom crafted. Service was friendly, the shop was neat/clean and they sell assorted treats too.

From a dream to a pop-up to a residency, I am so honored to have witnessed the journey thus far. But more importantly for this review, her drinks are truly a labor of love. Before bananamelo existed, my favorites were always her delicious variations of caramel coffees. My husband never wanted matcha before, but because he loved the chai she made, he was willing to try it and became a matcha lover! Now a hot bananamelo latte is my go-to and my husband's is an iced bananamelo matcha latte with vanilla cold foam. The cinnamon cold foam is not to be missed either! And I have to note that whenever we stop by and she happens to be taking orders or is nearby, she remembers before we say a word, which is a testament to how dedicated she is to her craft and her customers.

One of the awesome people from Enid Coffee offered me a drink to try, and considering how hot and humid it was at my job as a security guard working outside, I can't tell you how grateful and joyous I was. Not only was it cold and soothing re-energizing me for the rest of my shift, but the combination of the invigorating matcha flavor and silky smooth sweet milk was an immediate rush of satisfaction. This place has officially become a summer refreshment revelation for me. Guys, you gotta check this place out whenever you get a chance. It's definitely worth it.

I recently checked out Ira Lane Coffee and was able to experience the vision that owner, Taneisha Patrick has wonderfully executed. Ira Lane is a mobile coffee shop, currently stationed on Roswell Road in Buckhead every Saturday and Sunday. This coffee shop on wheels is seriously adorable and Instagramable, but most importantly the coffee is amazing! Ira Lane uses Counter Culture coffee in their espresso drinks and they offer Almond and Oat milk as their milk substitutes. Yes, they have dairy, too. I tried a Lavender Oat Milk Latte and it was superb. Honestly, I had never had lavender syrup in a latte and didn't know what I was missing. I highly recommend it. My partner ordered a Cortado with Almond milk, which I had to try as well. Delicious! I chatted with the owner a bit and learned that Ira Lane can also be booked for events - corporate, weddings, film, you name it. This would be so awesome to have at a wedding! In the meantime, I am definitely looking forward to more weekend visits to Ira Lane. A couple of COVID comments: Masks are in use and hand sanitizer is available.

Only open on weekends though. Their main location is on the bottom floor of the Georgia Tech Student Center - better espresso machine, more variety, etc. Service has been exceptionally friendly and prompt at every visit. I learn something new about the company or the coffee every time. Price is right on point and maybe even a little cheap for the quality and flavor. Tear Jerker comes recommended. Learned today that the coffee is ground smaller. More caffeine & more coffee to water ratio. CHEERS ATLIENS!!!
